This space was originally created to share the work of the Steering Committee on Organizational Effectiveness (SCOE) who was charged in June 2018 to carry out a comprehensive review and study of ALA’s governance, member participation and legal structures and systems, with the goal of proposing changes that will vitalize its success, strength and agility as a 21st century association. The results of this committee are the Forward Together recommendations.

    SCOE Charge: Appointed by then ALA President Jim Neal in June 2018, The Steering Committee on Organizational Effectiveness will carry out a comprehensive review and study of ALA's governance, member participation and legal structures and systems, with the goal of proposing changes that will vitalize its success, strength and agility as a 21st century association. 

    Webinar Description: Please join us for a virtual version of the presentations at ALA Midwinter from the Steering Committee on Organizational Effectiveness (SCOE). SCOE Chair, Lessa Kanani'opua Pelayo-Lozada, and Tecker International Consultant, Jim Meffert, will provide an update on the work of the Committee and some potential ideas for the future organization of ALA and its governance groups such as the executive board and council as well as relationships with divisions, round tables, and committees.

Another webinar with similar content will be offered in March 2019.
